5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
Before starting the pump, ensure the pool is filled with water and all connections are secure. Never operate the pump dry.
5.1 Fonksyon Valv Plizyè Pò
The multi-port valve has several settings for different operations:
- FILTÈ: For normal filtering of pool water. Water flows through the sand, is filtered, and returns to the pool.
- RETOUR: For cleaning the filter sand. Water flows in reverse through the sand, flushing debris out through the waste port.
- Rense: Used after backwashing to flush out any remaining dirty water from the filter before returning to FILTER mode.
- DECHÈ/DRENAJ: For bypassing the filter and sending water directly out the waste port, useful for lowering pool water level or vacuuming heavy debris directly to waste.
- RESIRKILE: For circulating pool water without filtering it, useful for distributing chemicals.
- FÈMEN: Shuts off all flow to the filter and pump. Never operate the pump with the valve in the CLOSED position.
To change valve settings, ALWAYS turn off the pump first.
5.2 Kòmanse ponp lan
- Ensure the multi-port valve is set to FILTRE.
- Open all necessary valves on the pool's plumbing system to allow water flow to and from the pump.
- Plug in the pump and turn on the power switch.
- Check the pressure gauge. A rising pressure indicates the filter is collecting debris and may require backwashing soon.
